Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 612 - 608: Isolating Array, Top Grade Pill Beast Valley

Xia Feng harbored doubts, actually lacking full confidence.

However, his luck had always been good, and even with a bit of skepticism, he managed to find the Pill Valley.

The valley was densely filled with Pill Beasts, trapped within by an array formed by towering peaks, with no way out.

The winding path in and out of the valley could be seen only by those outside, while the Pill Beasts within rushed around blindly, attacking each other, as if unable to see the hidden road.

Xia Feng used his right hand to start calculating, while Li Shiqing followed suit, also measuring and sketching.

After a quarter of an hour, Xia Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Noticing Li Shiqing still diligently calculating the vast array’s transformations, he couldn’t help but give her some pointers.

Li Shiqing, having cultivated the Great Dao of Celestial Talisman, was most sensitive to these arrays. Earlier bewildered, she only needed Xia Feng’s hint to awaken her insight.

Now with a revelation, she remarked, "This array is so intricate, several times more refined than those mediocre arrays spread within the Celestial Talisman Divine Domain."

Xia Feng patted her shoulder with a smile, "You mentioned those are mediocre arrays; how can they compare with the arrays in the Celestial Pill Secret Realm?"

"Even at its weakest, the Celestial Pill Sect of the past was a top faction in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, with not just one or two Divine Emperors at its peak."

"This Pill Valley is evidently a place to store elixirs. Naturally, they used arrays to prevent the elixirs from being taken out."

Li Shiqing’s cheeks flushed with a few tinges of redness, "You’re right, husband."

They wasted no more time; having been in the Secret Realm for a day and a half, they were eager for gains before the second wave of elites entered.

As soon as they stepped into the valley, the Pill Beasts from the surrounding mountains locked onto their aura almost instantly, charging at them fiercely.

The women, startled, were about to use their Divine Artifacts to counterattack when they realized the Pill Beasts collided with an invisible barrier ten meters away from them.

A flash of gold light emerged from Xia Feng; the defense of his Divine Armor separated from his body, guarding the group and causing the charging Pill Beasts to crash and reel.

The women looked at Xia Feng with eyes filled with admiration and sparkle, and then Sun Yazhu laughed softly, "With husband here to shield us, we can confidently hone our skills."

With that, the women, under the protection of their Divine Armor, engaged the Pill Beasts.

The Pill Beasts’ levels varied from Martial God Realm to Main God Realm, but the women were composed, selecting challenges that pushed their limits, seemingly intent on honing themselves.

Xia Feng, observing for a moment and seeing no danger for the women, drew the Heaven-Burying Sword and charged towards the Main God Realm Pill Beasts.

The fragrant elixir in the air was so intense that it was almost suffocating, so Xia Feng worried it might affect his companions’ performance. Thus, he used the Divine Armor’s shield to block the scent from reaching them.

As time passed and more Pill Beasts were vanquished, their demeanor grew more agitated, as if provoked by Xia Feng and the women.

Remaining cautious, Xia Feng continued to slice through the Pill Beasts while weighing the possibility of them going berserk.

However, after half a day of eliminating the Pill Beasts, the remaining ones were visibly agitated but did not undergo any real mutation.

Xia Feng had a subtle inkling that there were too few Pill Beasts in this valley. If there were more, the lingering elixir scent from those that had fallen might have triggered mutations in the remaining ones.

It seemed the so-called Celestial Pill might only manifest after such mutations.

Sun Yazhu also seemed contemplative, exchanging a glance with Xia Feng but both suppressing their thoughts.

Once the Divine Armor’s defense was withdrawn, the scent of elixirs once again surrounded them, causing slight discomfort.

Xia Feng, thoughtful, assessed their surroundings, "With the array’s protection and the Pill Beasts dealt with, we should use this place to allocate and refine the elixir."

The women, filled with anticipation, did not decline Xia Feng’s suggestion. They found an inconspicuous cave and entered the Dream Realm Pearl.

For other elites, it might take half a month to a month to refine a single elixir, and they might only manage a few within the Secret Realm. But for Xia Feng and the others, this was hardly an inconvenience.

Inside the Dream Realm Pearl, even if they wanted to refine all the elixirs, it would only take a moment on the outside.

Yet Xia Feng understood the importance of a solid foundation, having Sun Yazhu first refine these elixirs from the bodies of the Pill Beasts to enhance their solidity before distributing them according to attributes.

The women, holding elixirs in their Elixir Bottles, exchanged uncertain glances before looking to Xia Feng, "Husband, is it suitable for us to have these elixirs?"

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, "These elixirs are the result of your battles with the Pill Beasts. Who else should have them if not you?"

Exchanging looks, the women motioned for Sun Yazhu to voice their thoughts.

Sun Yazhu, coughing gently, handed her elixir to Xia Feng, "Husband also contributed considerably. It wouldn’t be fair for us to take all the elixirs."

Her voice dipped slightly, underlined by tension, "I know our cultivation and realm advancements are somewhat slow, but compared to us, everyone wishes for husband’s cultivation to progress faster."

"Additionally, since husband cultivates at least Ten Dao, the elixirs we can use are also suitable for him. Giving them all to us seems wasteful."

Pausing, Sun Yazhu’s expression grew less assured, her voice barely audible, "Or does husband think our cultivation is too low, dragging you down and hoping we..."

Xia Feng, seeing their anxious and confused expressions, couldn’t help but embrace her, interrupting her wild imagination.

"Alright, don’t get teary-eyed on me. I’m not thinking anything like that, and I certainly won’t neglect myself."

"Rest assured, the elixirs allocated to you all are yours, and the remainder is mine. Don’t think for a moment that I’m not focused on advancing my cultivation."

Sun Yazhu, increasingly anxious, squirmed in his embrace, "But the elixirs we selected are mostly for obscure paths you haven’t cultivated."
